It has no markings I can find. Anybody know anything about it?

Appears to be Italian Carcano, not sure which model.
Would it sell for $90 on GB auctions ?
thanks in advance.
If it's a single with a rifled barrel my WAG is that it's a European made target pistol, with set triggers. Similar pistols are shown in the 1911 Adolf Frank catalog, chambered for the 22 rimfire cartridge.
EDIT #1, I agree with HRF, it does look like high quality German gunsmithing, (noticed the swamped barrel). As he noted it might have been "cleaned" to such an extent that the markings have been removed. Or if it was made prior to 1891, ( which is possible do to it's physical appearance ), proof marks weren't mandatory in Germany.
Your photos don't show if it's a single or double barrel? Also cartridge/shell it's chambered for?

No markings, single barrel, and it is bigger than a .22, maybe something like a .32. It doesn't say. Thanks quote:Originally posted by rufe-snow

Maybe 8mm flobert
Rather long action for a single shot and grip angle looks shotgun.
Nice wood.

Nice piece but listed gun is a fine gun in a different class.
